CHICAGO, Jan. 1S-The wheat market held
very steady to-day, covering about the same
range of prices as on yesterday, and closing
for the day q shade lower than yesterday.
The feeling was very quiet and at times trad
ing was almost at a stand still. The cables had
a firm tone, and reports from California con-
tinue TO be circulated of the serious outlook
for the wheat crop on the coast, owing to the
prolonged drouth. The market in the latest
trading closed at nearly inside figures. There
was scarcely any speculation in corn, and the
general tone of the market was one of heavi-
ness. The price for May delivery declined to
4I14c and closed at 1890. The receipts show a
falling OF, attributed in part to the blockade
on many of the roads. Oats was quiet and
easy closing, however, at YESTERDAYS prices.
The receipts of hogs were checked by the ex-
tremely cold weather and railroad delay.
Mess pork opened shade higher, but fell off
1O@121%c per barrel rallied and closed at yes
terdaY's figures. Lard and sLort ribs showed
no essential change in values.
